Rae and Charlie are the best hosts you could ever hope for. They really looked after us after my friend had had major emergency surgery and they made us feel safe and at home. Communication was excellent, and they picked me up from inside the airport even though my flight was delayed, and Charlie cooked us a delicious dinner on our first night. They also dropped us at the local station with all our luggage when it was time to leave. They really couldn’t have been more helpful.
We stayed in the 2 adjoining units and we had a lovely private space with a shared balcony and adjoining lockable doors. One room has a king sized bed and a single, the other room had 3 large single beds. We each had an en-suite shower room, fridges and kettles. Both rooms have mosquito screens (which we needed!) and air con.
The gardens are beautifully kept and we saw some amazing wildlife. There are little streams running through the gardens and a wonderful clean Swimming pool with no chlorine smell - I had a lovely sunbathe and swim every morning and most afternoons too, often accompanied by a nice cold beer delivered by Rae!
The house is located near a temple and the whole area around has street stalls selling delicious traditional Thai food for 40 baht or less per dish. These are open until around 3pm. We usually bought something to take away for dinner as well, as there aren’t many restaurants very nearby. There are plenty of shops and 7-11s etc out on the main road and the MRT is a less than 15 minute walk. The communal kitchen is well equipped and convenient for cooking and preparing food. This is a really local, traditional Thai area and very safe to stay in. Highly recommended for a taste of real Thailand.
